Grampians Experts Please

I am heading to the Grampians tomorrow from Adelaide with the family, Prado and Jayco Eagle. I have been on the parks web site and can't decide which camp ground to head for.

Grampians experts help.

Thanks for your responses.

Alex

I think we stayed at the Plantation camp ground back in 2009. Absolutely fantastic camp ground. Most of the other camp grounds were fairly crowded, but not where we were. Heaps of room.


A rather large tree stopped us going any further on this track!

I would ring the parks and talk to them. There was a lot of flood damage and some of the main roads and tracks were closed up to only a few week ago. We were at Halls Gap 2 weeks ago and had to detour almost to Stawell to get to the lookouts on the other side. The roads were opened a few days later.

Hi Alex

I would agree with the previous poster, ring the park headquarters there regarding what is open. We looked at heading to the Grampians at Easter and there were only 2 campgrounds open then, and decided to head elsewhere. There was extensive damage from the floods and I believe they are only now opening up sections as many roads and tracks were simply washed away.

However, we have "done" the Grampians a few years ago, and had a great time at Jimmy's Creek Campground. They did have toilets there at that stage, and it was fairly quiet as it's a little away from most of the major attractions, but to us this was a bonus!! We were able to have an open fire as well. There was also plenty of birdlife/wildlife, make sure you shut your food containers up overnight as the possums can get hungry!!

Have a great time, Leanne

We were passing through the Grampians Easter time & came across the spot in the link below.

In 2008 when we were there we camped at the Lake Fyans Caravan Park which we found to be a nice park with good amenities
